Diane, RN
Director of Nursing
I was raised on the lake fishing and enjoying the outdoors. I have 3 children, Angela (husband Don and granddaughters Kaylee and Claira), Russ, and Johnny. Johnny is in scouts so I’m a scout mom, and because he is a tenor sax player, I’m also a band mom. My hobbies include fishing, quilting, gardening, camping, and traveling. I have been a nurse for 32 years, graduating from Owens in June 1988 and then worked as a hospital nurse for ten years. I have also spent more than a decade in home care, as well as supplemental staffing in nursing homes.
My husband used to say, “if you aren’t a little old lady she isn’t interested in you.” I am lucky to do what I love, which is the secret to happiness, working a job that you love, our patients make you want to come back. Our coworkers are family.
“I am grounded here with my fellow coworkers and new owners, Paula and Clayton. I have a big interest in helping this company grow in new directions while maintaining quality of care.”
Diane has taken on the DON position with gusto and we couldn’t be happier.

Lori, LPN
I was a STNA for 12 years before deciding to go back to school to become an LPN so I took the plunge going to school while working full time but it was so worth it. I worked as a wound nurse and night supervisor at a LTF before deciding to go to home care. I love home care because you are one on one with your patients and can form a bond. I have patients I have been with 4-5 years and they are like family to me. I am a Mom to 2 daughters 22 and 24 and a cat and dog mom, 3 cats and 1 ornery chihuahua who I actually adopted from a patient when she could no longer care for him. In my spare time I love to garden, look for antiques, cook and bake and love weekend trips to Ann Arbor, Put in Bay and Chicago, waiting to be able to go!

Pam, RN
I graduated from Mercy college in 1995 and became a nurse. I was inspired by a 6th grade science fair project on Histology with my uncle who then became a doctor. I am married with 2 daughters. My oldest daughter, Olivia is an X-ray Tech with Toledo Clinic and my youngest, Amanda will graduate in December from Mercy College with Bachelor of Nursing. Amanda has hydrocephalus and has had 14 brain surgeries which led to her wanting to become a nurse. My hobbies include watching sports-Detroit Tigers, Ohio State Buckeyes, Detroit Lions and Miami Dolphins. I also like to go shopping with my daughters and help them decorating their houses or small projects around the house. We like to hang out with each other and go hunting for Rae Dunn pottery. I enjoy being a nurse, love helping others and putting smiles on their faces.

Lisa, LPN
My name is Lisa Chirinos. I have been an LPN since 2016. I was born and raised in Toledo.
I have been married for 32 years to my husband, Juan. I have two adult children and twin granddaughters. In my spare time I love doing yard work, decorating, estate sales, and I also flip houses and I have a dog named Rocko.
I love being a home care nurse because I get to help people stay in their homes.

Suzette, RN
I am a Registered Nurse. I knew I wanted to be a nurse since I was a little girl watching my mom, a recovery room nurse, take care of people.
I grew up in a small farm town and moved to Sylvania as a teenager. I graduated from Sylvania High School and attended my mom’s alma mater, Mercy College of Northwest Ohio.
My hobbies include gardening, scrapbooking, crafting, sewing, attending Renaissance Festivals, and playing with my dog.
I love helping and taking care of my patients. I enjoy working for Arista Home Care due to the flexible schedule.

Dannielle, LPN
I have been in healthcare for over twenty years and have worked as a nurse for the past six. I am married, and together my husband and I are blessed with seven wonderful children, ranging in age from 9 months to 22 years. Our busy household also includes a lizard, a dog, and two cats—so it’s safe to say it’s never quiet!
In my free time, I love spending time with my family. We enjoy camping, outdoor adventures, concerts, music, and sports—especially cheering on Ohio State football. I also enjoy reading, coffee, animals, and all things fall.
I am excited to be part of the Arista Home Care family and look forward to helping patients live safely and comfortably in their own homes.

Casey, RN
I have been a licensed nurse for over 25 years with experience in both long-term care and home care. I am also IV certified.
